Spring Fling - Kennedale, TX

April 22, 2007 - Rockdale, TX – New Breed Racing, Alesi & Ayrton Gerthe, participated in the RPM Club’s Jr. Dragster Spring Fling April 14-15, 2007 at Texas Raceway just south of Ft. Worth, TX. Alesi Gerthe, assisted the team with crew duties and was also hired to drive an outlaw jr. dragster during the weekend. Ayrton Gerthe had a great weekend, driving his jr. dragster all the way down to the final five cars in the 15-17 yr. age category.

Alesi also recently donated another twelve inches of hair to Locks of Love. “Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.” –www.locksoflove.org

“A little more than a year ago, I donated around 12 inches of hair and decided when it grew out, I would donate it again”, continued Alesi. “We have a student at our jr. high school who has lost her hair due to cancer treatments and every time I see her, it makes me feel good about donating my hair.”
